On the Cultural Connotation and Heritage Protection of Xuankong(hanging) Temple

山西省浑源县恒山悬空寺是中国古代建筑史和宗教史研究的重要对象。恒山悬空寺在中国众多的"悬空寺"中受到的关注最多,但从当前的学术研究来看,对恒山悬空寺的研究更多的还是关注悬空寺建筑本体、"悬空"原因、旅游开发与保护及其宗教文化等,还没有文献探讨恒山悬空寺的文化内涵及其遗产保护。文章分析了恒山悬空寺的文化内涵,认为悬空寺是我国众多"悬空寺"中修筑最早和最具特点的一座,应从物质文化遗产和非物质文化遗产保护出发,结合恒山的世界遗产申报,进行一体化的保护。

Xuankong （hanging） Temple, located in Mount. Heng in Hunyuan County, Shanxi Province, is an important object in the study of Chinese ancient architecture and religious history. Xuankong （hanging） Temple in Mount. Heng is the most famous one among Chinese temples. But the current academic research focuses too much on the architecture, causes of ＂hanging＂, tourism development and protection, and its culture and religion. There is no literature study on its cultural connotation and heritage protection. This paper analyzes its cultural connotation from the originator of hanging, building layout, religious belief and building structure. The conclusion is that the Xuankong （hanging） Temple in Mount. Heng is the earliest and most characteristic among many hanging temples in China. Its heritage protection should focus on the material cultural heritage （location characteristics, building layout and its relationship） and intangible cultural heritage （Buddhism religious beliefs, etc.）. And at the same time, it should promote the world heritage submission of Mount Heng and Xuankong Temple.
